SCO UNIX Configuration; Remote Printer; Use External remote Printing Protocol...- Page 23

1 - 10 UNIX PRINTING

If this is the first printer configured, you must also use the 

lpsched

command prior to the 

accept

 command.

As an alternative, you may use Printer Manager in the Admintool 
utility under OpenWindows. Select Edit, Add, and Add Access to 
Remote Printer. Then enter the Print/Fax server name in the format 

prnservername!\prnserverservice

 as described above. 

Make sure that the printer server OS is set to BSD (the default 
setting), and click Add.

Note that we recommend that you use the 

/etc/hosts

 file for the 

printer name rather than NIS or other name services. Also note that 
due to a bug in the Sun lpd implementation on Solaris 2.4 and earlier 
releases, you may experience problems printing very long print jobs. 
If this is the case, a workaround is to use the raw TCP port software 
as described later in this chapter.
